Glenview 1 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern - Antique Bronze

The Glenview is a 307mm outdoor wall lantern with a cast aluminium frame finished in antique bronze, four clear glass panels and a flat roofline influenced by Prairie-style architecture. A single E27 bulb fitting sits inside the glass enclosure, protected by an IP44 rating that allows the lantern to be mounted in exposed positions including porches, doorways and external walls facing rain.

Designed for residential front doors, porch sides and garage entrances, the Glenview provides directed downlight for keyholes and steps while the clear glass allows visibility of the filament when decorative bulbs are fitted. The 197mm width and 215mm projection suit standard single and double-width doorframes without overwhelming the wall. The flat stepped roofline and squared frame geometry pair cleanly with Arts and Crafts, Edwardian and mid-century exteriors.

The cast aluminium construction resists corrosion in coastal and high-humidity climates, while the antique bronze finish develops a darker patina over time when exposed to weather. The clear glass panels are removable for bulb changes and can be cleaned with standard glass cleaner. The lantern accepts any E27 bulb up to 60W including LED filament bulbs, warm-white LEDs for functional light, or lower-wattage amber filament bulbs for decorative glow.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 protects the electrical components against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. This makes the Glenview suitable for exposed positions including porch sides and doorways facing rain, but not for direct overhead water jets or submersion.

What bulb should I use?

The lantern takes any E27 bulb up to 60W, sold separately. Most users fit a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K for functional door lighting, or a decorative LED filament bulb for visible glow through the clear glass.

How is the lantern fixed to the wall?

The back plate mounts to a standard outdoor electrical box using two fixing screws. The 215mm projection from the wall provides clearance for the cable entry. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with UK wiring regulations.

Does the bronze finish change over time?

Yes. The antique bronze finish is a living finish that darkens and develops additional patina when exposed to weather, particularly in coastal or high-humidity climates. This is a characteristic of the material, not a defect.
